It was Monday afternoon and, as usual I was home. on my computer finishing up my project for school. I'm starting school again in two weeks and i need it done ASAP.
Its been three days since I was almost turned into killed.
I'm moving on with my life. I mean I can't stay indoors forever and there's been no sign of him so I guess he's just a random killer and this is over.
Today was May's birthday and Reen had helped her choose the red knee length dress and black jacket.
She was wearing her ruby studs, which were exactly like mine and Reen's. The only difference is, We'd gotten different colors. We'd gotten those when we'd all turned eighteen and were finally the same age. That was a year ago. She sent a picture that's how I got to know.
May liked partying and doing wild stuff with Reena. I was just the uptight one who never got wasted at a party. I mean I knew how to have fun but drinking and driving isn't my definition. So May's having a birthday party and I'm not going. She's gone to live with her younger brother Dimitri now. My cousin Charlie has a huge crush on him but she's too shy to admit it to him. And plus he has a girlfriend. But personally I think the girlfriends a bitch. Charlie was cool, pretty and very shy. Shy to a fault. If she doesn't know you. She won't care to know you. Charlie's sister Khris is the opposite. She's bold and has the power of attracting boys. And my friends are one of her many admirers.
Now I was sitting out on the terrace, catching some fresh air, hoping that I'll get inspiration. Just then, my phone started ringing. Its May calling for me to come over.
I wore an old Lakers tee-shirt over my tank top and ascended the building into the parking lot, got into my car and locked all the four doors. I was now a freak when it came to safety.
"May. I'm here!"
I walked into the room to May. "Early for once in your life. What happened?"
"Your birthday, that's what."I side hugged her. "Happy birthday, May! Feliz cumpeleañous. Bonne anniversaire.. Happy birthday in every language you can think of."
"Feliz Navidad," May suggested.
"Merry Christmas to you too, if you like."
May burst into laughter at her own mistake. And I joined her.
"Hey babe," Dimitri came in.
"Don't call me babe," May warned.
"No. I'm talking about Tyler. Now that's a babe," he nodded approvingly.
"Shut up," I laughed.
I helped May decorate the house and put up the lights. When we were done, I turned of the room's lights for the full effects.
"Wow," we breathed. "Too bad I won't be able to stay."
"What? You aren't coming?" She asked.
"Nah," I replied.
"You have to come Ty," she insisted,"you need to let loose."
"I can be wild," I defended.
She folded her arms and raised her eyebrows in challenge.
"Imma have to go home and hit the shower. Cos I'm coming to this partay!"
"Whoooo!" May screamed,"Maybe I'll be lucky and turn you into the Party Queen"
"That'd be good. I like powerful women," Dimitri rested her arms lazily around my shoulders and winked at me.
I slapped his hand away playfully.
I spent half an hour more at Dimitri's before going home to clean up for the party. I went with a very short black dress and a blue hoodie with black converses. Reen and Tommy had gone on without me.
"Hey, X," I called Xavier X now. It just sounded so long saying "Xavier"
"Yeah," he looked up at me from the couch where he was watching TV. He's here 60% of the time to see if I'm okay. Dads orders. Seriously I'm not a baby.
"Could you please escort Me to a party? Mays birthday,"
"Oh uh sure," he agreed. He was already dressed in a black shirt and dark jeans. He put on his jacket and we were ready to go.
